ALTER TABLE...MOVE PARTITION v18

Use the ALTER TABLE… MOVE PARTITION command to move a partition to a different tablespace. The command takes two forms.

The first form moves a partition to a new tablespace:

ALTER TABLE <table_name>
  MOVE PARTITION <partition_name>
   TABLESPACE <tablespace_name>;

The second form moves a subpartition to a new tablespace:

ALTER TABLE <table_name>
  MOVE SUBPARTITION <subpartition_name>
   TABLESPACE <tablespace_name>;

Description

The ALTER TABLE…MOVE PARTITION command moves a partition from its current tablespace to a different tablespace. The ALTER TABLE… MOVE PARTITION command can move partitions of a LIST, RANGE or HASH partitioned table.

The same behavior applies for the subpartition_name used with the MOVE SUBPARTITION clause.

You must own the table to invoke ALTER TABLE… MOVE PARTITION or ALTER TABLE… MOVE SUBPARTITION.

Parameters

table_name

The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table in which the partition or subpartition resides.

partition_name

The name of the partition to move.

subpartition_name

The name of the subpartition to move.

tablespace_name

The name of the tablespace to which the partition or subpartition is moved.
